Growing up and being an avid fan of the 90s R&B group Destiny’s Child, I have always been inspired by the positive vibes that Kelly, Beyonce, former members Latoya and Lativa, and then later addition to the group Michelle, put out. Now fast forward to the present as an accomplished writer and journalist, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Kelly Rowland, along with a few other reporters including a correspondent from E! News.

During the intimate setting at the chanteuse’s hotel suite, she chatted with us about her new campaign with Caress, 2014 VMA plans, her top beauty must-haves, and of course her excitement of coming into motherhood.

As a new expectant mother, along with the excitement also comes a bit of nervousness, but with a strong support system it makes the life changing transition much easier. Rowland discussed how other women, both strangers and friends, have been very supportive in offering great advice during her first pregnancy. Her husband has also been a strong support system as well.

“He’s so hands on and very supportive. I’m very blessed to have him,” she explained.

In addition to the support system that Kelly has, she also wanted to do the same in giving back the community, and what better way than to give back and support the community by inspiring woman to live fabulous through her current campaign with Caress.

From July 30 to August 13, fans can enter a the #AmpYourFab photo contest with their pictures inspired by the singer’s photo for a chance to win prizes and a shout out on Twitter from Rowland herself during the live red carpet event.

“I am thrilled to bring the experience of the VMA’s to my fans through this contest. By sharing images of my style inspiration, I want to encourage women to give everyday a fresh take on fabulous.”

In lieu to the photo contest, Rowland also shared with us her top beauty Caress must haves. The Caress Emerald Rush Body Wash is among one top ones that she loves because it gives her that fresh scent that revitalizes her senses, and it makes her bed sheets smell awesome. Her top scent for the Fall season is Caress Evenly Gorgeous, which has smooth, caramelized vanilla scent.

Next up for the singer is a 5th album that is currently in the works, and don’t forget to tune in to see Caress and Kelly Rowland at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 24 at 9 p.m.
